WCH Named 5-Star Hospital

WCH Named Community Value Five-Star Hospital

Wooster Community Hospital has again been named a Community Value 5-StarTM Hospital by Cleverley & Associates for the 7th consecutive year, and the 8th out of the last 9 years. The Community Value Index (CVI) was created to provide a measure of the value that a hospital provides to its community. The CVI is composed of 10 measures that assess a hospital’s performance in 4 core areas: 1. Financial viability and plant reinvestment 2. Hospital cost structure 3. Hospital charge structure 4. Hospital quality performance. The CVI suggests that a hospital provides value to the community when it is financially viable, is appropriately reinvesting back into the facility and technology, maintains a low cost structure, has reasonable charges, and provides high quality care to patients.
